   misschelei replied to DEB52's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Well little did I know when I originally wrote this that a week later PIH would come back to play. I got sent to the hospital from the doc for labs and to make sure baby was ok. He was but I was given...

3. Need some 'actual' Nurse experience...

   misschelei replied to Hoping2beRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I should add you don't have to be an LC only. You can give great bf info to your patient as their nurse as well. You will run into nursing moms not only on L&D units but NICU's and Peds as well....

   misschelei replied to Hoping2beRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

6. Does it matter what your Specialty is as an RN to work agency?

   misschelei replied to VinoLover2030's topic in Agency Nurses

   Be very specific with everyone in the office if you go back to agency. Only work in areas you are comfortable in or you will get in over your head fast. You should know exactly what you are doing when...

7. Rapid Response Team and Families

   misschelei replied to Grumpy's Girl's topic in MICU, SICU

   One of the hospitals I work for has a specific name called overhead for a family called RRT. I don't know if that's just an FYI to the responders or if it means walk slower (lol) but the whole thing...

8. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

   misschelei replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

   I posted on here over 2 years ago thought I would renew my story..... I hate to believe that children are ever left behind as ghosts. That said we have a room in the PICU I used to work at that is...

   I just noticed this thread is almost a year old..someone must have been diggin deep in the archives

10. Has anyone EVER seen a patient come off CRRT alive?

    misschelei replied to rph3664's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    We used it when I worked burn until we could nurse them back to health. One patient we had for a good 6 months on the unit who was on crrt for a while was discharged and I had him as a patient 7 years...

11. Crocs & Back Problems

    misschelei replied to BlondieRN09's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Apparently Crocs are the devil. There's huge threads about them on here somewhere. They have even been banned from many hospitals. I personally have had a pair for over 5 years. Not the one's with...

12. Verbal orders...what about them?

    misschelei replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    I would never accept a verbal or telephone order given to anyone other a nurse. And if another nurse besides myself took the order I would even ask that nurse to write the

13. How nasty!!

    misschelei replied to rnrae's topic in General Nursing

    I know one hospital that has public service posters in the hallways of the docs we all know smiling and using hand sanitizer or hand washing encouraging everyone to do the same. I have to admit they...

14. How nasty!!

    misschelei replied to rnrae's topic in General Nursing

    What scares me more than anything is the staff who basically touch everyone in the hopsital like RT's, phlebotomists, and Xray. I can't tell you how many times I've seen them ignore isolation signs,...

15. Peds Or Adult Stethescope?

    misschelei replied to peds_cna's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    In my experience I can't hear any better with a cute stethescope than I can with a disposable one. But those are really cool! I like the blazing
